Ballooninaria!

Every fall, a park by our house does a Ballooninaria around this huge mirrored lake.

So, you are asking, "What the heck is a Ballooninaria?!"

It's like doing luminaries except with hot air balloons.

Are you still like, "Huh?!"

See, twelve different hot air balloons are inflated around the lake area.

Then we wait for it to get dark out as all the little children get grumpy from having to wait so long as they huddle together for warmth in the cold. (Check out the cutie-patootie next to Tanner -- it's our good friend's daughter, Josie.)
But then, all the balloons flame up at the same time -- and to quote Tanner, it is "really cool"!
So, the once grumpy children are then filled with amore, and they snuggle with each other and bask in the glow of the balloons!
